Hey guys i have a jon boat and it has no cleats on it to tie an anchor rope on ot to tie to the docks.I see alot of people who have jon boats put cleats on the top round part of the sides of the boat.In other words at the top of the sides were it's usually round or flat.The cheaper jons have the round surfaces on the top which makes it more difficult to mount them.Will just reg ss screws hold the cleat in the aluminum securely?
I am trying to find the best place to mount them on my jon boat.Also i have the triangle braces in the back were i guess it's just extra support for the transom.It seems strong and i see alot of people drill holes through it and put the cleats on.They seem strong but also parts of it are flimzy and when you tie a anchor rope to it the rope will tug on it with some force.Does anyone think that will be a problem or will it hold together fine?
Basically i'm trying to find the best and strogest places to mount a cleat if anyone has any good spots.There is very limited spots to mount them on a cheaper jon boat.Any help would be great.
